Ocean Cay Excursions are fantastic.

On private islands we typically just sit on a beach chair and take a swim.  Ocean Cay has all the usual offerings such as paddleboards and kayaks.  What is exciting to me is the unusual island options such as:  Bahama Bank Family Tour, the children's discovery program, "Help Dorami Save The Island", Sunset Champagne Tour, Beachside Stargazing, Ceclo Luxury Electric Pedalo, romantic snacks on the beach and the evening light show.   Now that MSC has put a countdown to Ocean Cay opening on the site, it looks like the November 9th opening is going to happen.  Let the fun begin! 

 

MSC has done an amazing job of designing unusual shore excursions for Ocean Cay.  I am really impressed.

 I was a bit concerned about our 2021 Seaside cruise having two port stops on our B2B. After seeing the various tours being offered, I am looking forward to the duplicate stops.  The option to stay and stargaze in the evening is really exciting.  Our 2020 January Divina sailing will not have the completed YC area, so our 2021 experience will be totally different.

Bea - It did not occur to me until now that your B2B Oct cruise will be making a stop at the new island!  How exciting!  I am looking forward to it on our Dec cruise - it is the highlight.

Yes ... hopefully we'll be the first visitors.  😀

You can work out the kinks for us.  🙂

 

I've waited 2 years for this island.  It was supposed to be one of the ports for us during our Jan 2018 Seaside cruise.  But thanks to Irma....

For the child stargazing it lists an adult price of 15 and child price of 0.  Is that correct?  

Actually, our January cruise doesn't offer an adult price for this.  We are sailing on the January 17th Divina.

This looks like children are free.

Eagerly awaiting your comments, once you have been there.  Our visits will be in January.  No excursion descriptions showing on our booking yet.

Our January 17 Divina cruise shows all of the excursion options.
